2013 brought an entry by Radio Disney Miami which hosted celebrity Caroline Sunshine from “Shake It Up.” JM Lexus powered the Grand Marshal Showboat and Moet & Chandon brought bubbles to the Black Tie Ball. The parade’s theme “Passport to Paradise” created visions of destinations around the world while blending the tropical beauty of South Florida.
